HydraFacial is the only hydradermabrasion procedure that combines cleansing, extraction and hydration simultaneously, resulting in clearer, more beautiful skin with little-to-no downtime. The treatment is soothing, moisturizing, non-invasive and generally non-irritating. As with most procedures, visible results from HydraFacial will vary from person to person.
PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
- If you have a history of cold sores or a diagnosis of HSV (herpes simplex virus), you will need a prescription for prophylaxis prior to the procedure. Call our office and we’d be happy to help you with a prescription.
- If you have an active cold sore for this appointment, your visit will need to be rescheduled!
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR TREATMENT:
- Your skin may experience temporary irritation, tightness, or redness. These are all normal reactions that typically resolve within 72 hours depending on skin sensitivity.
- You may experience tingling and stinging during the treatment area. These sensations generally subside within three hours of treatment.
- Client experiences may vary; however, most patients find HydraFacial very relaxing. Some people may experience a delayed onset of the previously mentioned symptoms. Contact us immediately if any unusual side effects occur or if symptoms worsen over time.
POST-TREATMENT SKINCARE:
You will likely see results immediately after treatment and your skin will feel smooth and hydrated for one to four weeks. For improved, longer lasting results, consider take-home products and monthly HydraFacial treatments.
WATCH-OUTS
- The treatment area is more susceptible to sunburn, sun damage and hyperpigmentation. Avoid direct sun exposure and use an SPF daily.

- Drink Plenty of Water
- Exercise Regularly

WARNING:
